EDITOR: RACHEL COMANDE The Shield ST. CATHERINE’S NEWSPAPER, GRADES 9-12 NOVEMBER 16, 2018 HOMECOMING BY: SAM DE GUIRE Homecoming - everyone’s favorite dance. It’s a night where you and your friends can get dressed up and have some fun. This year, St. Cat’s had a fantastic homecoming! To start off the week (kind of), we had mass the Thursday before “Homecoming Week” and wore spirit wear with uniform bottoms. There was no school on Friday. Class competitions and class color day were on the following Monday. Everyone who participated looked and did fantastic! On Tuesday, everyone wore their best tourist outfits. We were supposed to watch/play the first round of Powderpuff but due to unsafe conditions we watched Coco in the auditorium. The next day we got decked out in as much sports gear as possible. We also had the Pep assembly to acknowledge the fall sports teams. The homecoming court was crowned and Emma Coady and Daniel Weir were crowned Homecoming Queen and King, respectively. Plus, the Seniors won the Pep Paddle! There was no school on Thursday and Friday, but the football team won against Martin Luther, 27-21 on Friday. Finally, the dance was on Saturday and everyone dressed up and enjoyed a fun and safe event!
